| Notes:
William P. Baird was the son of Benjamin Washington Baird (1787 - 1852) and Nancy Phillips (1792 - 1822). They married about 1810. W.P. and Mary were married in Georgia in November but they apparently hastened to Alabama. Their first four children were born in AL and the last four in Texas. The children's dates suggest the family traveled to Texas about 1848-50.
